When I first saw the Disney Figural Keyring bling bags by Monogram International, I thought the design of the figures were just adorable and very unique and I desperately wanted to get my hands on them. They are readily available in the US and Canada in stores such as Hot Topic, the Disney Store website, Claires, local comic book stores, etc, but finding them in the UK is a little trickier. I have managed to find them in a couple of Forbidden Planet stores, particularly in Birmingham and London.
I was so excited when I managed to find some both here in the UK and in Canada and I had so much trouble deciding which ones to get because there were so many series to choose from as I was late in starting my collecting. Series 4 is a very safe choice because the range of characters in this series is absolutely amazing and there is just no going wrong no matter which character comes out of the bag.
I was incredibly lucky because the very first bag I ever opened was the Exclusive B Baymax figure dressed in his armour. The quality of the figure is absolutely amazing and has a lot of little details. It is a vinyl figure attached to a metal keyring. The vinyl material feels a little more rubbery than the Funko vinyl figures, but it is still very hard and sturdy. Baymax has his orange helmet on with the the two points on both sides and a purple flat belly with ridges. There is grey and purple detailing all over the front and back and his armour even has the circular detailing where Baymax’s chip is inserted.
While this is a figural keyring, I do wish these were stand alone figures as they are so well made. The metal keyring can be removed from the top if you would like to display your figures rather than use them as keyrings. Unfortunately this Baymax figure will not stand on his own, but if you place a little bit of sticky tack on the bottom of his feet and place him on a flat surface, he will stand on his own and the sticky tack will not damage the figure.
If you are on the hunt for the exclusive figures, I do not think they are as rare as some of the series of other toy lines as I know many people have managed to find the exclusive figures without having to buy a ridiculous amount of bags, but at the end of the day, it all comes down to the lucky draw. You can feel out of the figures, but it is difficult as there is a piece of card around the figures to make it a little more difficult.
Whether you want to use your Disney figural keyrings as keyrings, toys, or figures for display, the figures are incredibly well made, they look absolutely adorable, and are definitely worth the purchase.
